Cardozo Law Institute in Holocaust and Human Rights Launches Atrocity Prevention Legal Training Project
August 1, 2016 - The Cardozo Law Institute in Holocaust and Human Rights (CLIHHR) has received funding to launch the Atrocity Prevention Legal Training (APLT) Project. Cardozo alumna Carse Ramos '11 joins CLIHHR as the APLT Project’s principal researcher.
The project aims to develop learning modules for broader dissemination within the law school community of the principles, purposes and implementation of atrocity prevention. The initial phase of the APLT Project includes an in-depth review of the current materials used in related academic fields, as well as those developed by NGOs working in atrocity prevention education. In addition, research interns have interviewed educators to learn best practices in teaching atrocity prevention and have spoken with law professors to determine how best to create a useful tool to mainstream atrocity prevention in law school curricula.
